"Fellow Daoist Lu, before I went down the mountain this time, I learned some information, and now I want to share it with you."
Chen Rong whispered: "Every full moon night in Guhuai Town, there will be bizarre disappearances, but the number of missing people each time is not many, basically no more than ten. So combined with the rumors of haunting, I speculate that this place is occupied by
The demon's magic power is probably weak, so he doesn't have a big appetite, so he only fights in small quantities."
Bai Xiaowen secretly complained in his heart, what a small fight, in China, this is already a shocking case, the key is that it happens every month.
It really is a background where demons are rampant and people are in dire straits.
Bai Xiaowen asked: "Chen Daoyou, have you ever understood the identities of the missing people?"
Chen Rong had indeed done his homework: "There are scholars rushing to take exams, businessmen traveling around the world, and buskers who are doing tricks in the world."
Bai Xiaowen had some confidence in his mind. It sounded like these three types of people were not very powerful, at most they were at the bottom level of evolutionaries.
However, Bai Xiaowen quickly discovered something was wrong: "Chen Daoyou, have you noticed that the missing people are all outsiders? The locals of Guhuai Town do not seem to be among them."
Chen Rong nodded: "I also know this. The demon seems to understand that rabbits don't eat grass beside their nests, and they only harm passers-by. So this time, I asked my caravan to abandon the planned route and take a shortcut from Guhuai
The purpose of passing through the town is to attract the demons to appear so that they can be killed in one fell swoop."
Bai Xiaowen praised: "Chen Daoyou is really smart."
In fact, there is another possibility, that is, the residents of Guhuai Town themselves have problems. But Bai Xiaowen will not point it out. To be honest, he is a little wary of Chen Rong in front of him.
A smile appeared on Chen Rong's pretty face. If she was praised by ordinary people, she wouldn't be in high spirits, but the young man in front of her was too handsome. Just like men like to listen to flattery from beautiful women, so do women.
"Friend Lu Dao, I guess the demon will not commit crimes in the town to avoid causing panic. Therefore, the demon will definitely use the method of seduction to seduce outside businessmen. After you return to your room, wait for the demon to seduce you and the ordinary people who are bewitched.
Let's pretend to be seduced together. My house manager Chen Meng and I will follow quietly behind."
After a pause, Chen Rong said: "Leave the task of slaying demons to me. Fellow Daoist Lu only needs to protect those bewitched mortals and prevent them from being affected by the residual power of the fighting."
Bai Xiaowen praised: "Chen Daoyou has a kind heart, and he will definitely have merits and virtues."
Chen Rong smiled and said: "It's just going down the mountain to practice. Please go back to your room and prepare, fellow Taoist."
…
Bai Xiaowen returned to the guest room, and soon a waiter came to the door and delivered dinner for the night.
The food was really rough, and the rice was filled with sand, making it hard to swallow. The meat was actually fresh, but Bai Xiaowen was suspicious of the source of the meat, so he didn't dare to use his chopsticks rashly, but took out the animal meat from the storage space.
Dry, water, and fill the stomach a little.
In fact, with the physical quality of an evolved person, it is not a big deal if he does not eat for a month, at least it will not affect his combat effectiveness.
Before leaving, the clerk glanced at Bai Xiaowen and said, "Sir, I'm sorry to say that I'll spend the night in Guhuai Town and lock the doors and windows at night."
Bai Xiaowen asked deliberately: "Why is this?"
The waiter whispered: "It's haunted! Also, no matter what noise you hear at night, don't open the door. It's best to plug your ears."
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said: "I know, thank you, second brother."
…
The moon is at the zenith.
Bai Xiaowen caught a glimpse through the window and said to himself: "What a bright moon." He then closed the window and closed the door.
When acting, you need to do a complete set.
Suddenly, a wisp of piano sound sounded faintly.
Bai Xiaowen's heart moved: "Here he comes."
The sound of the piano was faint, and it was played for a while, followed by the accompaniment of the flute, which was tender and affectionate.
Bai Xiaowen seemed to see a gentle and graceful beauty waving to him from a distance, calling him over.
There was a slight strange feeling in his left eye, and this illusion disappeared immediately. Bai Xiaowen even felt that the true energy light ball in his dantian was spinning faster and seemed to be rushing towards the location of the Eye of Evolution.
[If I allow the true energy to flow into the Eye of Evolution, it will definitely cause a backlash to the demon who casts the spell!]
Bai Xiaowen had a flash of understanding in his heart. This was the Eye of Evolution's resistance to evil spells such as charm and spiritual suggestion. It had helped him many times during the awakening stage.
At that time, what needed to be consumed was spiritual energy points. Now that Bai Xiaowen has True Yuan Power, it has become a waste of True Yuan Power.
Bai Xiaowen suppressed the imminent move of his true energy, now was not the time to alert the enemy.
He listened carefully to the movement in the side room.
With a creaking sound, the door of the side room opened, followed by mechanical and dull footsteps, as if someone stepped out of the door uncontrollably.
"That's almost it."
Bai Xiaowen also pretended to be confused and pushed the door open.
In the courtyard of the inn, a scattered group of seven or eight travelers walked toward the door of the inn following the sound of the piano and flute. No one spoke, and the scene was quiet and extremely weird.
As for the residents of Guhuai Town, shopkeepers, waiters, etc., none of them showed up and were hiding somewhere.
Bai Xiaowen imitated the mechanical footsteps of the people in front of him, walked out of the inn door step by step, and then walked on the empty and deserted street.
On the street, a few bewitched pedestrians came out from other places. They should be outsiders who had not stayed in an inn. They all followed. Counting Bai Xiaowen, there were thirteen people in total.
This number exceeds ten.
But there is a reason. The caravan led by Chen Rong is used as bait itself, and the several extra people are all the caravan's buddies.
The group of people headed towards the western suburbs of Guhuai Town.
After walking for more than an hour, we arrived at the wilderness of the western suburbs.
There was a cold wind and continuous rain, and even the full moon was obscured by the clouds. In the dim wilderness, the low cries of crows could be heard from time to time.
Click!
A sound of thunder illuminated the gatehouse of the dilapidated building in front, with three words engraved on it: Ancient Buddhist Temple.
This ancient Buddhist temple has obviously been abandoned for a long time, and there are no incense offerings. Even the Vajra guarding the gate is missing arms and legs.
"Kekeke..."
The woman's clear laughter echoed in the wilderness.
Immediately afterwards, four gray ghosts appeared in front of the gate tower of the ancient Buddhist temple.
These ghosts can barely be seen as human-like. They have three-foot-long tongues that hang down to the chest and abdomen, like a hanged ghost, which makes people feel chilly.
It doesn’t matter that the ghosts don’t look good to the audience, but they still think that they are the most beautiful women, and they make fun of each other, and they keep hearing:
"Uncle, come on~"
"Hehehehe..."
I almost threw up Bai Xiaowen. It's not your fault that you look ugly, it's your fault that you look scary.
However, those passers-by who were attracted by the charm, as if seeing a peerless beauty, quickened their pace and swarmed up.
